Hello @Willtaylor37! thanks for your suggestion. I moved it to this similar thread to add your vote to it.

Since I don’t run (ever or unless I am being chased) and do not use a treadmill, I think having options for other exercises would be great! Specifically I’d like to see golf added as an exercise. The Iconic will track my steps while playing golf, but that’s about it.

A link to a golf app would be a selling point for me

I doubt FitBit will develop or associate with any golf app soon.
I have been using the free version of SwingXSwing. Works well and have been able to locate via GPS all the courses that I played in 2018.

Not that I’m aware of. It’s a stand-alone app for a mobile phone which uses the phone’s GPS, has scorecard and keeps records of previous games.

There are third party golf apps for the ionic. Just go to the apps page. I know of at least two that work.

No it is not. Just couldn’t wait for the developers to add to the Fitbit. Separate app from Fitbit for your phone. Sorry for the confusion.

It would be awesome if you added Golf GPS directly on Fitbit watch.  Nobody wants to use or wear multiple devices.  Garmin makes one, but I do not want to have to switch to Garmin App....Any plans for this in the near future, or will I have to switch?

 

Thanks
